Leonetti Merlot 1999 (Colombia Valley)
Producer:
Leonetti
Item name:
Merlot (Colombia Valley)
Wine type:
Red
Reviewer:
Tom DiNardo Leonetti Cellars is one of Washington's most sought after cult wine producers. This merlot wine is well worth the quest. The aromas of floral and berry notes are truly impressive. After experiencing these unique aromas, I was completely surprised by the palette. Moderate tannins complement the deep flavors of dark cherry, berry, herbs and toasted oak. A pleasantly long finish is to be expected and cherished. I believe that Pahlmeyer merlot has met its match. Leonetti merlot is now one of my prized favorites.
